A member asked:

Is it safe to exercise while i have ear problem/infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: Some ear infections cause balance problems, so take care if exercise involves balance and you feel dizzy. Swimmer's ear needs to be kept dry, until resolved, so no swimming if that's your problem.
